• Literal string is too long and too small string buffer

  Hello

  Can someone please explain what the difference is between these two errors.

  The maximum size of the character in SQL is 4000 and PL/SQL its 32 k. So if a string literal exceeds this limit "string literal too long" error message is triggered by oracle.

  Here is an example

  SQL> select 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    2  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    3  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  ERROR at line 1:
  ORA-01704: string literal too long
  

  Now, when you try to set a string variable with a value greater than the defined size, you get "too small character string buffer.

  Here is an example

  SQL> declare
    2    var varchar2(1);
    3  begin
    4    var := 'aa';
    5  end;
    6  /

  ERROR at line 1:
  ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
  ORA-06512: at line 4
  

  Oracle error message there two of each, one for SQL and one for PL/SQL.

  ORA-19011: character string buffer too small

  Cause : the result of the chain asked is too big to go back

  Action : get the result like a lob instead

  ORA-01704: string literal too long

  Cause : the string literal is longer than 4000 characters.

  Action : use a string literal of more than 4,000 characters. Longer values can only be entered using bind variables.

  PLS-01905: character string buffer too small

  Cause : an error occurred while moving a string from a source to a destination. This error occurs if, for example, an attempt is made to move an a string of 10 characters into a buffer of 1 character. The cause of this error may not always be obvious. For example, the following will cause this error: a varchar2 (1); b the number; b: = 10; a: = b; An error occurs because an implicit conversion causes the number 10 to become the string '10', which does not fit in memory buffer of characters of 1 assigned to the variable.

  Action : first, look for the character string assignment statements where the size of the buffer is incompatible. If there is none found, then consider the case of an implicit conversion shown in the example above.

  PLS-00172: string literal too long

  Cause : the string literal is longer than 32767octets.

  Action : use a string literal of at most 32767octets.

• Ideas for work around ORA-06502: character string buffer too small on the interactive report

  Hello

  It comes to Apex 4.2.  We try to create an interactive report.  The report is for something similar at a follow-up time.  We try to concat a comments column as the sum of the hours.  For example,.

  Select TASK_NAME, sum (HOURS), to_char (XMLAGG (XMLELEMENT(E,E.COMMENTS ||) ' : ')). Extract ('//Text ()'). GETSTRINGVAL()) USER_COMMENTS of...

  This query works fine if we seek only to a window of 1 week.  The question that we live, when we expand the scope of the query to include data from 3 months, we hit ORA-06502 interactive report.  If we remove this column from the interactive report, then the report works very well.

  Anyone has any ideas on how we might be able to work around this problem?  I'm guessing we're reached the limit of 32 k on the report.  Ideally, we would show just the last X number of comments and then have a link to show all comments

  Any help would be appreciated

  Thank you

  Mike

  ListAGG raises an ORA-01489 for varchar2 > 4000 bytes

  OP has an ORA - 06502--> IR is running within a limit of 4 k / 32 k.

  quick fix: wrap USER_COMMENTS ListAGG in a substr (..., 1, 4000)

  Longer solution, use a subquery to modify comments based on ROW_NUMBER() (IE after the nth line, change the null)

  with
  -- simulating data
  t as (select task_id, sysdate - lv as date_entered
    ,round(dbms_random.value(1,24)) hours
    , '-*' || lv || '.' || task_id || '*-' as user_comments
  from ( select level as task_id from dual connect by level <=10 ), (select level lv from dual connect by level < 1000)
  ),
  -- modify data
  modified_data as (
    select task_id, hours, date_entered
      ,case
        when row_number() over (partition by task_id order by date_entered desc) < 5
          then user_comments
        else null

  You get a maximum of 30 characters in the array, column, etc. names in Oracle.

  You have really a partition name exceeds?

• ORA-01873 leading too small precision

  I'm getting an ORA-01873 ' leading precision of the interval is too small "error and can't understand why. The error occurs during a call to the following function (please excuse any syntax errors since I'm greasy finger all my entries):

  FUNCTION hrmin_interval_string(val INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND)
  RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
    hrs   NUMBER(6);
    mins  NUMBER(2);
  BEGIN
    hrs := EXTRACT(DAY FROM val)*24 + EXTRACT(HOUR FROM val);
    mins := EXTRACT(MINUTE FROM val);
  
    RETURN hrs || ':' || TRIM(TO_CHAR(mins, '00'), 12);
  END;

  The code that calls this function is as follows:

  ...
    time_delta    INTERVAL DAY(6) TO SECOND;
    tstr          VARCHAR2(500);
  ...
    tstr := RPAD(hrmin_interval_string(time_delta), 12);

  The time_delta value when the error is + 000105 06:56:00.000000.
  
  This time_delta value is in the precision and should not be this error, at least as far as I can tell. Is that what everyone else sees what Miss me?
  
  I tried specifying INTERVAL DAY (6) SECOND in the list of function parameters, but which simply causes a compilation error, saying: he met the "("caractère quand elle attend «ÀLE».) "
  
  I am running Oracle 11 g.

  Hello

  I had this error, I think it's related to the bug listed on Metalink as 6360779 which is would have been set in Application Express 3.1.1.00.09 see http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/3.1.1_patchnote.html?_template=/ocom/print

  However, I use the version above to the apex and received the error, I found that I had put a % at the end of a label sign, that caused the error. Remove the % sign, helped him drag / move to continue.

  Hope this helps

• error report: ORA-01008: not all variables

  Hello
  
  I have my tent to run the following query in the form of application of the APEX report:

  Function convertsqlstmt2table(sql_stmt VARCHAR2) returns the results of my query, passed a string as a table object.

• error report: ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than number of lines

  I get this error in table form that should be filled by selecting a week called item description in this page by a dynamic action.

  In the main table, I have two primary keys and so two foreign keys in the secondary table even if it is not a type of form master detail.

  When I select the week description point and the related records in the form of sound. But it gives the above error.

  In the main table, there are two records of same, in this user name folders is different which defines the unique character of the file.

  It is really basic and happens if you have something like this in your code - the SQL code is supposed to return exactly ONE value and it returns two or more:

• Error (ORA-06502) when addinng a LOV-more element in a table

  I created the collection. Then, I created in a table, this collection from.
  In the form of tables, I created 3 elements, based on the "list of (named LOV) selection.
  It is ok.
  
  LOV:

  error report:

  What evil? Why I created 3 identical items and could not created one more element (the same)?

  Alex - selection lists can generate a lot of HTML code. If it exceeds 4K for all a "column in your query, or if the cumulative for all 'a line' size exceeds 32K, you will get this error. How many items in each LOV?

  REDA

  The error message should include a line number to reference your code to see what line the error occurred on.

  That said, look at the documentation for SUBSTR as you incorrectly use the third parm.  It's length, no end of race.  That's your problem.

  Certainly an improvement, you are now thank yourself.

• ORA-06502: PL/SQL: digital or value error: character conversion number e

  Hi all
  I work with DBLOCALE , which is

  Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
  PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.3.0 - Production
  CORE     10.2.0.3.0     Production
  TNS for IBM/AIX RISC System/6000: Version 10.2.0.3.0 - Productio
  NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.3.0 - Production

  and DBREMOTE

  Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.8.0 - 64bit Production
  PL/SQL Release 9.2.0.8.0 - Production
  CORE     9.2.0.8.0     Production
  TNS for IBM/AIX RISC System/6000: Version 9.2.0.8.0 - Production
  NLSRTL Version 9.2.0.8.0 - Production

  Leave a procedure on DBLOCALE I run SCHEMA. MYPROCEDURE@dbremote (NUMBER, stringPar VARCHAR2, datePar DATE numberPar)
  
  I use this procedure only to call a function in a package of DBREMOTE with education booleanresult: = MYPACKAGE. MYFUNC (NUMBER, stringPar VARCHAR2, datePar DATE numberPar)
  
  In the service, I try to INSERT IN MYTABLE (numberPar, stringPar, datePar) and the error

  ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error

  is triggered.
  
  I missed something basic? Where is my mistake?
  
  I have check all types of past data and types of data in the table, that I have to insert.
  
  Any help or suggestion will be appreciated. Feel free to ask me any questions that need me to explain or for more details.
  
  Best regards
  Alex

  It starts with a page of APEX who call a procedure in DBLOCALE.

  Apex point (page) variables are all text - and bind as text variables when used in PL/SQL and SQL code.

  In this procedure, ii assess the past, then insert into a few tables@DBREMOTE without errors.
  The end of it, I'm calling the remote packaged function.
  In the function I use parameters to open a cursor and insert into MYTABLE.

  That you pass as parameters? The variable element of Apex (e.g. : P1_DATE) or do you attribute the object variable to a PL/SQL variable and the neck of the PL/SQL variable as a parameter?

  Even if I agree with you on the copy & paste I don't know what part of the process, I can speak to you.

  Well, you can try the following. Create a dynamic PL/SQL region on the page. This region should be implemented and made that the page has been sent (in other words, element variables used in the page need value for this region, for the record). You can create a condition for this region that must be met to be made - and this can check the QUERY variable, or to check if the relevant variables have values.

  In this dynamic PL/SQL code for the region block, use HTP.prn () as you would use DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line () in client-server test normal (using TOAD or SQL * more). And in this block of code, call the remote procedure.

  For example

  --// dynamic PL/SQL region code block:
  HTP.prn( 'Item P1_DATE = ['||:P1_DATE||'] 
  ' );
  HTP.prn( 'Item P1_NUMBER = ['||:P1_NUMBER||'] 
  ' );
  ..etc..
  
  HTP.prn( 'Calling remote procedure:
  ' );
  begin
    RemoteProc@RemoteDB( param1=>:P1_DATE, param2=>:P1_NUMBER );
    HTP.prn( 'Call was successful
  ' );
  exception when OTHERS then
    HTP.prn( 'Call failed with: '||SQLERMM(SQLCODE)||'
  ');
  end;
  ..etc..
